About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

I'm a 26 year old gemini who is also a twin. I have lived in various places throughout the world and currently reside in Mongolia. I grew up in Wellington, New Zealand, and moved to Christchurch to complete my BSc in geology. Then went travelling. Lived in China for half a year, travelled around oz for a year, then around SE Asia (The Thai-Khmer-Vietnam-Laos-Thai circuit) before returning to Christchurch to complete my Masters in geology. I am now working as a geologist, based in Ulaanbaatar working around the Mongolian country.Mongolia is a great country, about the size of Queensland, with only 2 million people, over half in UB. They are so accepting and friendly, and don't hesitate to invite you into their ger and offer you food. (Not that great choices for the vegetarian!). The people are struggling to make a come back after the Russian left in the 90s and the country is really starting to shine, as people meet their potential.I love being surrounded by different cultures and ideals. It lets you know that although people are different, we are really all the same. everyone has the same basic needs and wants. There is beauty in all living things, in all people, and it can so easily be shared. Its amazing the power a smile can have, it can break down all language and cultural barriers.I also love being outside, surrounded by nature. There is beauty in the land as well as in the people. I miss sea kayaking and surfing, now that I have no ocean around me. I may have to take up a new sport...ice skating? I already have a sore bum from an ice incident a few weeks ago. I learnt my lesson: Its not always safe to play on ice, especially with Mongolians coz they will be alot better than you!
